And Tottenham hope to use the funds from the potential sale of the Togolese forward on a £15m bid for Brazil international Paulinho.

The Corinthians star has emerged as a target for Andre Villas-Boas in recent weeks, but the north London club face competition from Roma and Inter Milan.

As a result they may be forced to pay up to £18m for Paulinho - the midfielder's minimum fee release clause.

To afford that, several Spurs fringe players may be let go. Scott Parker and Tom Huddlestone would reportedly be surplus to requirements if Tottenham pursued Paulinho, while Spurs would listen to offers for Adebayor.
